Two European central bank presidents spoke on Monday concerning their overall relative responsibilities. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said he’s prepared to release another long-term refinancing operation in order to provide funds to Europe’s banking system if and when needed. Unlike previous times after Mr Draghi has held court, the market reaction this time was muted. The Swiss franc is still highly valued and the central bank’s currency ceiling remains essential for safeguarding the economy, according to Swiss National Bank President Thomas Jordan in his statement on Monday. Therefore the loose peg, in relation to the value of the Swiss franc versus the euro, at circa 120, will remain in force until conditions change. The U.S. currency fell versus the majority of its sixteen major peers as a consequence of the Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart and others stating that Fed policy should focus on creating a more dynamic economy. Lockhart has continually backed the Fed’s $85 billion in monthly bond purchases that were retained last week.http://blog.fxcc.com/market-analysis
